    While discussing with some people how to get the Linux kernel to do the
    right thing wrt sending output to both the serial console and the
    hdmi out / lcd screen when booting on ARM devices, Grant Likely pointed out
    that there already is a solution for this.
    
    All we need to do is set the /chosen/stdout-path fdt property, and if no
    console= arguments were specified on the kernel commandline the kernel
    will honor this and add this device as a console (next to the primary
    video output on hdmi).
    
    And u-boot already has support for setting this, all we need to do is
    define OF_STDOUT_PATH and then everything will just work ootb, without
    people needing to meddle with adding console= arguments in extlinux.conf .
